08:42 AM EDT, 05/06/2024 (MT Newswires) -- EyePoint Pharmaceuticals ( EYPT ) shares fell more than 26% in premarket activity Monday after the company said a trial of its potential diabetes treatment Duravyu failed to meet the primary endpoint of improvement of at least two levels on the Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale as of week 36.
Trading of the stock was briefly halted ahead of the Duravyu news release.
The trial of patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy showed the drug has a "favorable safety and tolerability profile," the company said.
EyePoint said it plans to provide an update on a path forward for Duravyu following a full review of the phase 2 study data.
